A first climbing session in Singapore usually starts with a day pass, not a membership. Live rates at the gyms below are the ones to trust; the ActiveSG Circle gym guide from 2022 is useful for which walls suit beginners, but several day-pass prices have moved since then.
At Kinetics Climbing at 511 Serangoon Road, one adult entry is S$23 at peak and S$16.50 off-peak, with a S$5 one-time registration fee for first-time patrons. A five-session multipass is S$100 and a ten-session pass is S$185. Off-peak tickets require leaving by 7pm. The gym offers rock climbing and bouldering, equipment rental, and an SNCS Level 1 pathway for beginners.
Other beginner day-pass prices
Fit Bloc prices an adult single session at S$28, with a three-session first-timer pack at S$55 and ten sessions at S$200. Children aged five to 12 pay S$14 for one session when one child is paired with one adult. Outlets include Kent Ridge, Depot Road and Telok Ayer.
Boulder Planet, a bouldering-only gym at Sembawang Shopping Centre and Grantral Mall, charges S$33 for one adult session and S$16 for youths aged 18 and below on weekday afternoons before 6.30pm. Five sessions cost S$135 and ten cost S$220.
Lighthouse Climbing at Pasir Panjang prices an adult day pass at S$28, youth (18 and below) at S$19 and children (12 and below) at S$16. A five-day multipass is S$120.
OYEYO Boulder Home at Mackenzie Road runs a beginner hour at S$45 per person, with registration and shoe rental included. Advanced coaching is priced at S$70 for 1.5 hours, or S$60 if four sessions are bought together.
Ground Up Climbing at Tessensohn sells five adult sessions for S$110 and ten for S$190. Children aged 12 and below need a supervising adult, charged at S$10 entry.
What “beginner-friendly” means here
ActiveSG Circle names Kinetics, OYEYO, Ground Up, Boulder Movement, Boulder Planet and BFF Climb among gyms suitable for first visits. Bouldering walls are shorter and use mats instead of ropes; rope climbing adds a harness and belay. Most of the day-pass gyms above rent shoes, and several rent harnesses for the tall walls.
Climb Central’s mall walls at Kallang Wave and Funan price a returning adult single session at S$31.40, with first-timer sets and multipass options beside it. For a first hour, the straight comparison is still the adult day-pass line: Kinetics from S$16.50 off-peak, Lighthouse and Fit Bloc at S$28, Boulder Planet at S$33, Climb Central from S$31.40 at Kallang and Funan, and OYEYO’s coached beginner hour at S$45.
